LONG YEARS UNDER WATER.

The capability of sea water rs a preserv-
alive is shown by the fact that among the
articles recovered from vessels sunk in the
harhor of Vigo, Spain, in 1902, there have
been recovered specimens of logwood and
mahogany that Notwithstanding their 1874
years submersion, are in the most perfect
state of preservation. Dyers who have
experimental with the logwood state that
it is even better for dying purposes than
the wood now imported. The mahogany
too, is very fine and solid, one log twelve
feet long and twenty-five by thirty-two in
ches square being subsequently worked up
in the shape of furniture and walking
sticks as mementoes. The chief object,
however, is an ancient pulley block four
and one-half feet high and three feet
broad, with four solid copper sheaves eigh-
teen inches in diameter. 1t is of sold oak
and was probably used in hosting heavy
articles of merchandise or the anchors.
The wood is perfectly preserved, but an
iron band is completely corroded away,
while the copper wheels are but slightly
o1idized.-New Tor7; San.

MOKiLEIIES.

Silence is one of the hardest argyll
ments to refute.
Our actions are our own; their conse-
quences belong TO Heaven.
Common sense, in an uncommon de-
gree, is what the world calls wisdom.
A man that cannot mind his own
business is not to be trusted with the
kings.
When anger rushes unrestrained to
action, like hot steed, it tumbles in it's
way.
Every man has follies, and oftentimes
they are the most interesting thing he
has got.
Money and times are the heaviest
burdens Of life, and the unhappiest Of
all mortals are those who have more Of
either than they know how to use.
Make thy recreation servant to thy
business, lest thou become o slave to
thv recreation. When thou goest up
into the mountain, leave this servant in
the valley; when thou goest to the city,
leave him in the suburbs, and remem-
Der the servant must not be greater than
the master.

Observation-Disclosures.

New York, sad to relate, gets no mention
whatever from our ancestor. The degree
IN which it was oyershadowed by the city
on the banks of the Schuylkill is shown in
the following declaration:
AS the city of Philadelphia lies in the
center of the British plantations, and is the
middle stage of the post, from Boston to
New England northward. down to Charles
ton in Carolina southwark; and as that city,
besides its frequent intercourse with
Europe, drives a continual trade with the
West India Islands, and has also a consid-
cradle commerce with the rest of the colon
les of the continent, We therefore fixed upon
it rs the properest place and more CON-
modiously situated than any other for
carrying on the various correspondence
which the nature of the work renders neces-
sary." -American Magosine.

TURKISH woMEy At noaE.

A Turkish woman will at any mo.
ment, if the caprice seizes her, give
away her finest jewels. The hospitality
of these women is too we'll known to
require mention. They always have
coffee and sweet-meats served for any
and all guests, and when they feel that
the visit has lasted long enough they
clap hands, and the cafajee brings q
second cup of coffee, and that is the
signal. No guest can stay longer than
to drink this. Sometimes the between
drinks is decidedly short. The women
and children do not undress at night,
but add q wadded night-robe to the
clothes they already have on, and sleep
thus summer and winter. They close
all the doors and windows and sleep
several in one room, and doubtless
would suffer greatly from the confined
air were it not that Turkish carpenters
never have heard of the plumb line and
so windows and doors all have crevices
which supply ventilation. The tales Of
Oriental magniticence fail to impress
one who has visited the best harems,
for they are one and all pictures of
dirt and wanton extravaganza. The
only great display is in the amount Of
rugs and jewelry. On the floors of the
general room for the women or the
private suites, it is always the same
cigarette ends, candies, nut-shells,
necklaces, gold-embroidered slippers
and sashes, and, in short, all sorts Of
disorder and dirt. And the women are
always eating, smoking, or lolling about
on the .divans. Brooklyn Magazine.

WoUHDNT FIGHT Il PIECE OF 4 NAN

Since the war dueling has almost disap-
peared in Georgia. Any attempt to re-
vive the custom is met with ridicule. The
laugh was turned against the barbarous
custom in 1866, when two editors quar-
relied and challenge passed. A duel was
confidently expected, but the challenged
party refused TO accept on the ground that
his opponent was not "whole man,"
having lost leg, and that for a whole man
to fight against u fragmentary one would
not be fair. The righteousness of this ex-
PLANTATION set the whole state in roar of
laughter, and from that day dueling disap-
peared.-Boston Journal.

Hints on Poultry Houses.

A good poultry house is as necessary
to profit in the poultry business as any
other thing connected with the business.
Farm and Garden" makes some sug
gestion about the subject as follows: 1t
is an old maxim that nc poultryman has
ever built a poultry house that w, u i
not be changed in some respect if it
were to be done the second time. Those
who go to the expense of constructing
elegantly designed and deliberately built
poultry houses may adapt them nicely
to the eye, but the hens may not be com
Portable, and will not reward the build
or for his pains. In winter the main re-
quiremcnt is warmth, and a low ceiling,
dry floor and tarred paper walls, costing
bat very little, will induce better results
than the expense Of large sums to suit
the convcniences of the poultryman.
And this is the error all fall into-that
Of constructing the poultry houses for
their convenience, when the real object
should be to consider the welfare of the
hens first, and make the preferences of
the owner regarding his convenience
4 secondary matter. While you may
object to a low ceiling because YOU do
not care to lump your head when you
enter the house, the hen may prefer it TO
be just the reverse, as it Will be warmer;
and though yog may wish the door
nearest your dwelling house, it may thus
be OF the north side, allowing the cold
blasts to creep under it and chill the
birds. You may have a particular loca-
ton for the house, and wish it to lace
A point of the compass c~orresponling
with some other building or object; but
the hens will prefer high gruuud, and
the southeast, SO rs to get the benefit of
the suns rays, as we'll rs protection
from the northeast storms. In building
a poultry house. these matters should rex
ceive their proper attention, as well as
the cost. The best poultry houses are
those that are usually built low to tho
ground and hence made warm.
